Harry Turtledove's In at the Death (Del Rey), concluding volume in the "Settling Accounts" series and of the much broader "Great War" saga, debuts impressively this week on four print lists, as high as #6 on Washington Post's fiction hardcover list, #12 at New York Times, #11 at Publishers Weekly.
J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows already slips a bit, to #2 at San Francisco Chronicle and #3 on the Amazon UK list. It has yet to appear on any list from New York Times or Washington Post.
This page belatedly acknowledges the prominence of the "Twilight" young-adult vampire series by Stephenie Meyer, whose third volume Eclipse (Little, Brown, August 2007), ranks #2 today on Amazon. (Many titles on young-adult or children's lists have fantasy elements; we don't attempt to track them all.) Previous volumes also rank: second volume New Moon at #10, first volume Twilight at #57, with the paperback of Twilight ranking #19.
